Are all these people really so socially influenced, socially controlled, that the question of "is rap considered music" becomes a legitimate discussion?

That, to me, sounds just slightly less disturbing a question than this: "are blacks considered people?"

If you answer yes to the second (which I'd hope you would), you better be answering yes to the first.

I think we need to open our minds a bit.

And for those of you thinking I "brought" the race card into this myself; I don't have room to justify that, now. But in this world, everything influences everything else. All I can say.
